I don’t think they’d be any use here tbh- even the most subtle of hints aimed at gentle “direction” of opinion would be picked up by someone. That same someone might also look at the sus poster’s history to see if there was a pattern, meaning that the little titbits of propaganda would have to be buried in a normal spread of posting history. You’d end up with a troll spending ages building up a realistic persona, and then having their shit-nuggets of mischief pooh-poohed anyway.
On a site like this it is probably more realistic to be blatant and just argue their corner using the “avalanche of shit” technique for disseminating misinformation.

In fairness, RT has sensibly reported today that "Samples of the BZ nerve agent were tested at the OPCW-accredited Swiss lab in the Skripal poisoning case, but only as part of control procedures, the chemical watchdog said, adding they otherwise had “nothing to do” with the case..." But I don't expect the explanation ever to be cascaded anything like as widely as the original allegation. We had the correct explanation here on this thread on Sunday.

So now let's wait when 250 'Lestrades' will complete their investigation, when they will elaborate more or less plausible version of poisoning. I suspect that it requires months if not years.
As for ms.Skripal then 'highly unlikely' she will be able to give an interview, to use telephone or internet anytime soon.

The reason for thinking that the Russians will finish the job is the belief they did it in the first place
Taking the Russians out of the equation - someone already tried it once and it is pretty fair to say she can be in fear of her life

Yes the British authorities can keep her detained against her will for ‘a reason’, that would be imprisonment if she’s found guilty of a crime or detained under arrest.
She could also be held against her will for her protection if she was sectioned
But none of these apply to Miss Skripal - she is a victim, in danger and in fear who has also stated she does not want to be seen, to have the media see her etc

So she does not want to be seen by anybody, including her 90yo Grandmother? She does not want just to make a telephone call to her? Sorry but it contradicts to the common sense.
British authorities could invite the Grandmother, her cousin to the embassy in Moscow to give the relatives an ability to contact with ms.Skripal via Skype. Why not? It would remove all doubts.
But now it is unclear is ms.Skripal a free person, can she move freely, can she use internet. She doesn't visit her pages in social networks. But why? It is not typical for young modern woman. It is highly suspicious.
